He’s the main reason that Glavine, Maddux and Smoltz are in the Hall of Fame! This man had saved a lots of runs for those pitchers. 10 Gold Gloves and 434 HR! Put the man in the HOF

I mean I like Andruw as much as the next guy but c'mon dude. Maddux has 18 Gold Gloves. He'd be a HOFer if Andruw Jones had never been born.

Those pictures you mentioned had over 600+ Wins combined. Andruw was one of the best to ever play the outfield. They all deserve to be in the HOF and would have been if on different teams. But I get your point, he did save arsh on several occasions. Check out the 9:55 catch.

For sum reasons....the mlb didn't want this man to get to 500 HR....he came off a 51 hr year then a 41 hr year just to be put on the dodgers bench the next year and it was downhill from there even tho he was still great....he had to retire at 35 cuz teams didn't wanna play him after he left the braves....bro would have had 600 hr easy if teams had just let him play

Loved watching him play, but his career ended early as he had 6 terrible seasons straight. For someone to be considered elite of the elite and to be HOF, I think they need to have a more complete career than Andrew did. Solid to this with both offensive and defensive merit. Still really love him, but I don’t think he’ll ever be HOF.

I think he was always on them but when he gained all that weight and started becoming a big power hitter it hurt his legacy. I've watched baseball for 35 or so years and he's the best center fielder I ever saw in that time. Many of his contributions to the game didn't show up in the stats but he was unbelievable, the man could cover 2/3 of the outfield by himself. On defense alone he was a generational talent and with offense threw in he was definitely one of the best to do it for a period of time. However when he got big and started hitting homers he wasn't fooling anybody about his ped use. When your stats are borderline for the hall of fame and you take steroids it just removes you from consideration. It's a shame because he was definitely a hall of fame talent. Also when he got old he got old quickly. His production just stopped suddenly and his career was over. I think he's probably the best outfielder to not be in the hof.

@crotalusjbc Жыл бұрын

I'm a Brave homer to the bone, but I'll say this! If you want to put Jones in the HOF based purely on the fact that he might be the best defensive fielder of all time, I'm cool with that. But he IS NOT an HOFer offensively. There some glaring, and I mean GLARING problems with his numbers. There is simply no way to get around this! Andruw played 17 years, and averaged 130 games played per season. He played over 150 games in 11 straight seasons. Yet he is well short of even 2000 hits! Jones is not in the top 1200 of career RBIS or career runs scored. But HE IS in the top 30 all time in strike outs! There is simply no way to sweeten those numbers, they are simply wretched. There are literally 1200 dudes with more RBIs and runs scored than Andruw Jones, and a whole heap of them aren't in the hall of fame either. And we are talking about folks with significantly better career stat lines than Andruw. Hell, we just now got guys like Vlad Guerrero, Larry Walker and Fred McGriff in. I'm sorry, if you are not even in the top 1200 all time in RBIs and Runs, but are in the top 30 in strikeouts? Less than 200 hits and a .250 average? That's not a HOFer! But hey, that's my opinion, and I'm no expert.

You know what your problem is? The same problem so many sports fans have. You are a stat head. Stats only tell part of the story. How many atheltes in any sport have had phenomenal stats but didn’t win shit? Didn’t show up in big moments? Your numbers can’t contradict what I saw. What I watched. Dude was big time. We all knew it when we watched him. Do you watch a quarterback play a great game and then say “yeah but he only threw for 220 yds and 1 TD.” Maybe YOU do but any knowledgeable fan knows there is more to it than stats. Stats do matter. They do tell part of the story. But your WHOLE story is based on stats. It’s like the dumbass modern managers who do everything the computer tells them to do. There are only so many factors that can be quantified numerically. Life and reality is not a math equation. Not to mention. One can interpret stats many different ways. You say Jones played 17 seasons. How many of those seasons was he completely washed and should have just retired? Or lost weight and got into shape? What penalty did him hanging on too long put onto his stats. Nobody gives a shit about what he did after he left Atlanta. Recalculate your numbers for those 11 seasons and see how those look. Even then….it’s called the “Hall of Fame”. Dude stood out and was respected in his time. He was a famously great baseball player. Maybe we should vote out PeeWee Reese?

@AlphanumericCharacters 10 ай бұрын

….and another thing. RBI? How many seasons was dude hitting directly behind Chipper? Got a HOF dog eating before you there tends to be less meat on the bone. Hell, around late 90’s when they had Galarraga if memory serves they lead all of baseball with HRs. Had Chipper, Brian Jordan, and Andres hitting in front of him.

Me and my dad called him mr double play because if he came up with guys on base you can bet he would see nothing but breaking balls and he would sure enough top one for an easy double play. If he struck out that was considered a small victory. Literally all these home runs are off of fastballs.
